Excalibur Unleashed is a high volatility fantasy slot from Pragmatic Play. This page shows how it plays, what each symbol pays and how the bonus modes start.
The demo is free. The real game needs an account and players must be 18+.
Excalibur Unleashed is a medieval fantasy video slot from Pragmatic Play. The grid is unusual: five reels laid out 3-5-5-5-3, so the middle three are taller than the outer pair, and 20 fixed paylines run both left-to-right and right-to-left. Three matching symbols on a line pay a win, which means a combination can land from either end of the reels.
Most Pragmatic slots lean on one trigger. Here the wilds do the work: they land only on reels one and five, expand to fill the whole reel and carry a random multiplier from x2 to x20. Free Spins keeps those expanded reels in place for the round and adds a multiplier step after every winning spin.

Know each step
You will know how a bet, a win and the bonus move through one round.
Pick a bet from A$0.20 up to A$240 before the reels turn. Every win scales with that bet, so the examples here use A$0.20, A$0.50 and A$1.
Wins form when matching symbols line up on any of the 20 paylines, read left to right or right to left. Three or more matching symbols pay.
The base game uses Expanding Wild, Free Spins and Progressive Multiplier. WILD lands only on reel 1 and reel 5 and expands with a random x2 to x20 multiplier.
Two WILDs landing on reel 1 and reel 5 in the same spin start six free spins. The trigger multipliers carry over, and expanded WILD reels stay for the whole round.
Set your budget before the first spin and stop when it runs out. At A$0.20 a spin, each round costs the same bet, win or lose.

Spin plans, priced
You will know how a round begins, what the reels do and when extra spins arrive.
Two WILDs on reels 1 and 5 at once open the round with 6 free spins and the multipliers those wilds struck. Expanded WILD reels hold for the whole round and add 1 to their multiplier after each winning spin; separate wild reels add together.
Plain reelsLocked wild reels
Reels start as 3-5-5-5-3, 20 fixed paylines pay both directions, and a WILD appears only on reel 1 or reel 5, expanding across the whole reel with a random 2 to 20 multiplier when it lands.
Fresh reelsA stretched wild
Nobody knows when the wilds will land on both outer reels and start the free spins, and no bet size changes those odds. One session is random from start to finish, so the return figure describes a long run of play, not your hour on the machine. Budget for the spins, not for a result.
Two return figures exist for this game, and the differences are small. Which one you are playing appears only in the game's rules panel, so open it before you stake anything. Nothing on the lobby screen settles that question for you.
The stated top prize sits at five thousand times the stake, and it is a ceiling rather than a target. Most sessions finish well below it, and the multiplier growth in the free spins is what carries a round that far. Treat it as the outer limit of the game, never as an expectation.
Three checks before money
Useful when you are choosing between a practice round and a real-money session.
Pick the demo to learn the game: it needs no money and pays nothing. Real play needs an account at Cashy Casino and the legal age of 18.
Start playingPlay from 18+. For help in Australia, call the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 or join BetStop, the national self-exclusion register.
Set a budget for Excalibur Unleashed before the first spin and treat it as spent money. Whatever the reels do, the session ends when that amount is gone.
Decide your stopping point in advance, and make it cover the good spins too, not just the losses. A win is not a signal to push further.
Use the deposit and loss limits in your account so a number checks your play, not your mood. Set them below what you can afford, not at the edge of it.
If the game stops feeling like entertainment, take a break or self-exclude through BetStop. Chasing the expanded wild reels is not a plan.
